The Contemporânea AXÉ 18"x40cm aluminum surdo is a professional choice for percussionists who need a powerful, durable instrument ready for intensive use in batucadas.
Made by Contemporânea , one of the most renowned brands of Brazilian percussion instruments, this surdo stands out for the quality of its materials and the precision of its finish. Its aluminum shell provides a perfect balance between lightness and sound projection, while its reinforced hardware is designed to keep the instrument in optimal condition for years.
Thanks to its 40 cm depth, this surdo offers a powerful and defined bass sound , especially suitable for samba reggae and Afro samba ensembles, where it is often known as the surdo dobra . Although some musicians identify it as a third-string surdo, its size makes it more appropriate for styles that require greater presence and body than traditional samba enredo.
The 8 tension rods allow for precise and stable tuning, and the nylon drumheads provide durability and consistent response even under demanding conditions.
